Not that I mind really.
What a shame - you might even learn to enjoy it.
means zip for us that just want to fly and get a foot in the door!
Its a great way to build hours
Both the above do a great disservice to flying instructors - bit like a school teacher saying that teaching is a great opportunity to get out of the house or have six weeks off in the summer.
You could work for a flight school? Modular for example?
Commercial FTO's require experience levels above those for PPL schools.

Instructing is hard work for little pay, yet rewarding and interesting at the same time. In much the same way as some graduates of the big schools assume they have the 'right stuff' for airline flying, not all FI's have the aptiude or attitude for flying instructing.
